Denied
The Board denied service connection for right upper extremity neuropathy, to include as secondary to a right elbow condition and denied increased ratings for the Veteran's service-connected disabilities. The Board also remanded several claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current disability manifested by neuropathy of the right upper extremity or that the Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
